Subject: Do you have to be baptized to be saved? |
Bible Note: NO. You don't have to be baptized to be saved! And I don't want to sound funny here, but unless you're hanging on a tree next to Jesus you don't have to get baptized, however if you want to be obidient and bury that old nature and old understanding (by being batptized) and walk in the Spirit, this is how we begin to "walk by faith, not by sight", 2Cor. 5:7. So the question is, why wouldn't anybody not want to be baptized? Psalms 1:1 Gods blessings |
